There's apparently a "Ride and Drive" event to test drive electric cars at the Ithaca Mall this afternoon. I admit I'm a little curious to see what they're like, but I also am pretty sure they would not be for me.

Most of my driving is just several miles at a time in and around the Ithaca area, but I often enough need to go on road trips that the range of an EV is probably not adequate.

Maybe these are a better idea for two-car families where they can do most of their commuting with the EV and then have something else for longer trips.
